BNSF 894 at SODO


Spokane and Colorado Streets, Seattle 4/27/2008
This old warrior shot down in SODO is starting to show some age. Despite that it still gets around, as evidenced by the photos at RRPictureArchives for this unit.

It's been 13 years since the BN/ATSF merger, and it's nice to see Warbonnets in a new century - even if they look like they've been through the ringer!

  1. Okay, I need to ask. I've heard it alot, but as a dry-sider of WA, I have no idea what SODO is. Help!

  2. SODO used to stand for "South of Dome" when the Kingdome was still standing. Now it stands for "South of Downtown" which describes the area roughly between Qwest Field and Spokane Street viaduct. I looked back through my posts to see if there was a Wiki link to SODO (because I recall adding one). Guess I was wrong! So here's one for you:

    Also you can put search word sodo in the upper left corner of the blog to see more posts involving the district. Thanks for pointing this out!
